“We loved it. It was a beautiful golden sun, we soaked it up on the 5pm tour. We sat with some great travellers. The only thing I’ll say is the waitstaff were really rude, when they took the orders and delivered the drinks. I think they actually can’t stand tourists. I’d have given it 5 stars if the staff were friendly.”
